Today is Memorial Day. It's very quiet, unlike other years. There are no barbecues and parties, due to the stay-at-home situation. And we are going to hit a horrifying statistic in a few days.
Last time I wrote, the number of people who died from covid-19 was 90,000. As of today,99,754 people have succumbed to this virus. Yet there are people who are sure it is a hoax, just because they, themselves don't know anyone who has had it. The country is opening back up and people are not socially distancing, and many are not wearing masks.
Despite the deaths, Trump played golf yesterday and today, and spent time on Twitter dissing his enemies.
We have just completed our tenth week sheltering in place. Today, it is 90 degrees, and my apartment, even though it's the ground floor and usually cool, is warm. This weather makes me cranky.
Other than current events, there is little that has changed. I have had a couple of zoom sessions with friends, and they boost me for days.
I have utilized Instacart for the second time, to order groceries and have them delivered. It beats going to the grocery store.
And I got a CPAP machine. Pauli sent it to me, programmed. Last night was my eighth night of sleeping through the night. I had no idea what a good night sleep felt like. Now I do.
It has taken a little getting used to, but it is definitely working. I had one many years ago, and it was a nightmare - clunky tubes, claustrophobic air mask, cumbersome console. This one is not huge.
